I am not saying they will fire Beaty, but I think Beaty is out of coordinator changes. For all the people that say Beaty needs 5 years, the same could be said for his coordinators. You can't have it both ways.

At this point I don't care. Keep Beaty for 5 years fine. Fire him tomorrow fine. At this point I am ambivalent.

Surely no one thinks we need to add MORE HS coaches! My only beef with Bowen is he is zone happy, has been since he played for Bob Fello/Mason. There comes a time when you simply need to put your kids up against theirs. That said, we don't seem to have any Talibs, Gordons or Harris's on the roster right now. That falls on the toes of the worlds best recruiter, Dave Beaty.

I noticed that Eastern Michigan held Ohio to 13 points in regulation, before finally losing in double overtime. We gave up 42. Miami (OH) held Central Michigan to 14 points, while Syracuse held them to 17 points. We gave up 45. You can't tell me that our athletes are worse than those three programs. If we have as good of athletes, then it comes down to coaching them up and/or schemes. This is Bowen's third year under Beaty and the defense should not be this bad. I am a huge KU fan, and always try to find the positives (unlike some others on this board), but I think it's time for a new DC!!

Our D in those 2 games certainly made the opposing O's look like a bunch of All-Americans.

Coaching and lack of experience and experienced depth is our problem. Can't do a lot about the experience and depth, except keep building the roster and getting guys game time, but there's no excuse for the coaching part on D.
